Although abstract in form, Cora Murphy's paintings are most usually described as landscape - as they capture the essence and emotional significance she attaches to a place or time.
While her influences are broad, the work is largely concerned with the natural world and our place in it. She takes her inspiration on the land – literally – walking the land, interacting with the community and generally immersing herself in the scene. Like Mary Oliver, ".. my work is loving the world.. which is mostly standing still and learning to be astonished!"
Originally from County Carlow, she travelled extensively for 15 years before returning to live in Ireland in 2007, when she abandoned conceptual art to focus on painting full time. Since then Cora has made bodies of work in response to landscape - in the Kerry Gaeltacht ('Ballads to the Bog' - Cill Rialaig Gallery, Oct 2010 & 'In a Quiet Kingdom' - Dungarvan Arts Centre, Feb 2012), the Mayo Lakes (May 2011) and throughout the country in 'Land of Plenty' (Origin Gallery, Dublin March 2011) – a celebration of the abundance of our land in spite of recession.
She has also created bodies of work overseas - in Southern Italy (Sept. 2010) & Mexico (Oct – Nov. 2009). 'Mexican Odyssey' - a body of work made while camping in the Baja Desert - toured Ireland last year. Works from her studio in the heart of Cork City.
